I think I'd have a hard time supporting Hillary in the general election

[bryant69]

I think she's a good senator, and I think she might very well make a very good president.

That said, it's hard to think of a more divisive candidate we could put up. She will energize the Republican base and guarentee an extra ugly election. That'd be fine if I thought that she was going to get into office and really fight for reform; but she's largely with the Bush administration on his screwing up of the middle east, she's a moderate on almost everything.

And I can't believe she doesn't realize all this (well except the bit about her being a moderate who doesn't really fight for the people). So running is a bit of a selfish act - I would have more respect for her if she would just step aside.

But I doubt she will.

I'd vote for her; but it would be a lukewarm support.

1. Not to get on the mods' last nerve, I couldn't.

So I really, really hope you guys put up someone else.

[Warpy]

8. Same here. I won't vote for another conservative

another corporatist, another war hawk.

If we have to endure 4 more years of GOP mismanagement, so be it. At least more of their chickens will come home to roost without their being able to blame us.

Something has to get through to the DNC that CONSERVATIVES ARE THE PROBLEM and never the solution to anything.

[EFerrari]

9. Today I heard John effen Dean say that he was a Goldwater

conservative AND that he's left of center in the same ten minutes.

Someone, please! The brakes!

[Rosco T.]

16. We could not SURVIVE 4 more years of GOP looting/pillaging

so, even if it's Hillary, if you DON'T suport the Dem candidate, you support the Grand Old Pillage party...

[EFerrari]

21. So, please educate me on the difference.

Because no, the party doesn't have my vote on speed dial.

How can Hilary be sold to the South? And, why should the North want to vote for her?

[G2099]

2. I would straight up: not support her . . .

Enuff said.

3. Hillary's tactical error

I agree about her being a "good senator", and most US female politicans are on the top of my list of favorites in this day and age. She has dropped to a low priority for me, since she sacrified some sincerity in her initial and vocal support of the Iraq invasion and illegal war.

It's hard for me to forgive her for that, because this war is a wound in my heart and it makes me ashamed of being an American.

I recognize her attempt to retreat from that stance, but she has a this vaguely hawkish stance like some desperate NY street thug who want to be accepted, all of which is unwarranted and unproductive IMHO.

Sure, she scored local points with the 'power that be' in NY, but nationally I think it's going reduce her popularity on the national campaign as a potential prez candidate.

Since the rape of the innocents in Iraqi, I have even less sympathy for a woman who supports this ugly, disgraceful invasion of a sovereign nation which was not before, now or ever going to be a threat to the American people.

4. Hillary is a DINO, DLCer, whatever you wanna call her. No support from me.

5. If she's the nominee she has my support.

[greguganus]

7. Mine too

I love a woman with power

[EFerrari]

11. I'd love to love a woman with power.

Maybe that's some of the anti-Hilary sentiment. She's been a huge disappointment and maybe those of us with expectations feel let down.

I'd hate for 2008 to be the first election where I can't support the Democrat. That would just about kill me. :(

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

6. Not a problem for me. I won't vote for her for any office.

I've worn my nose out voting for the "not as bad" candidates like Hillary.

[ourbluenation]

10. so people that won't vote for her in the GE...what are your options?

stay home?

[guinivere]

12. Staying home is an option. Voting for a third party candidate is another

option.

Hillary won't have my support in the ge.

[NNN0LHI]

15. Some people tried that already and we got 8 years of Bush

The Republicans would really like to see a repeat of that. Yea, man.

Don

[ourbluenation]

26. if enough stay home /vote 3rd party, we'll have more GOP administration

s. Pure and simple. I'm all for a 3rd party option, but not now when everything is so polarized 50/50. I'd take Hillary in a HEARTBEAT over any gop offering ANY DAMN DAY of the week.

[peacebird]

14. work hard to make certain that she is not our nominee

[bryant69]

19. I would vote for her

But i wouldn't support her in other ways, with my money or my time for example - or my enthusiasm would be less.

13. Lets worry about November before we take on the Presidential election

What ever my feelings are about Hill they do not matter until we win too big to steal this November.

[oasis]

17. Thanks for expressing your views and for your vote. I'm sure Hillary

will be working toward firming up her support in the months leading up to 2008.

[Mist]

18. As I've asked before: Am I the only one who minds that Hillary is

The GOP's dream Dem to run against? It was RW shills who began floating the idea months ago on MSNBC and FAUX.

[bryant69]

20. I'd say you probably aren't the only one.

[EFerrari]

22. As far as I can tell, Hilary is the COP's choice for us. n/t

23. Has anyone seen this article? found it in Raw Story..

http://www.rawstory.com/showarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nysun.com%2Fpf.php%3Fid%3D36497

This is a big deal. I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton if Bill O'Reilly was the opposing candidate. Well.... maybe I'm exaggerating. But, WTF is going on with these Republicrats????

:wow:

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

24. I don't trust her, & she's pro-Nafta

I'd more likely go for a third party that puts Americans first. Not Corporations first.

[SmokingJacket]

25. I'm angry that Dems are taking my support for granted, though.

YEAH, I don't want another republican for president, but I also don't want an almost-republican in office either.

I feel like Hillary et al have realized that so many Dems have basically become AnyoneButBush, so they have the freedom to become republican-lite. Clearly, it's part of their grand strategy (the Dem base will vote Dem no matter what, so they have to go after the fence-sitters) which I understand... but boy I HATE being ignored!!!!!!!!!!!
